Overview:
The Vaddio 12” DomeVIEW HD Series Dome Enclosures
for the ClearVIEW™ HD-18, HD-19, HD-20,
PowerVIEW™ HD-22, HD-30, HD-USB, HD-19SE and
RoboSHOT PTZ cameras are attractive and robust
integrated HD security solutions for indoor and light-duty
outdoor applications. The DomeVIEW HD Series offers
three distinctly different products. In all cases, the
cameras are not included. This manual covers the 12”
Indoor Pendant Mount Dome Enclosure.
Each Indoor Pendant Mount Dome Enclosure includes a
clear 12” optical-grade polycarbonate dome, metal back
can, UV protected plastic shroud and mounting hardware
(see parts explosion on next page).
The 1.5” NPT pipe adapter attached to the top of the dome
and is anchored through the plastic shroud, metal back
can with a gasket for a strong and tight top seal.
Accessories include a Wall Mount Kit, a Wall Mount with
Pole Mount Kit (for poles 3” to 10” / 76.2mm to 254mm)
and a Structure Mounting Box Kit which uses a 1.5” NPT
thread adapter.
The DomeVIEW HD Series Domes are an excellent way
to securely mount Vaddio PTZ cameras for a wide range
of HD video applications.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested
for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one
provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe
operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are
misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product
drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from
www.vaddio.com free of charge.
Use only the power supply provided with any camera system. Use of any
unauthorized or extended power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-
outs

Pre-Installation:
Before starting the installation of the DomeVIEW HD 12” Indoor Pendant Mount Dome Enclosure, please read
this manual. There are several things to consider before mounting a dome.
When locating the dome, consider camera and subject matter viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line
of site obstructions and check for construction challenges where the camera is to be mounted. Pick a mounting
location to optimize the performance of the camera. Avoid locating lighting elements or direct sunlight.
Vaddio HD and RoboSHOT Series PTZ cameras use Cat-5e cable for video power and control. When
terminating the Cat-5e cabling, please make sure that each cable is marked and tested for proper termination
of all ends with a continuity tester. Please do not use the “pass -thru” type RJ-45 connectors.
All work must conform to local building codes and should be performed by qualified
personnel. For the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install the DomeVIEW
HD Enclosure. Safety comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and installation
practices.
Always measure twice, and check your work, then cut once.
STEP-BY-STEP Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
It is easiest to mount the dome on the 1.5” NPT pipe mount or wall mount and then install the contents of the dome
to avoid cabling problems as the dome is spun onto the pipe mount. Rotate the dome counter-clock wise until
threads are fully engaged.
Note: The camera and contents can also be installed on the ground, but extra care must be taken with the cables
when the dome is spun onto the 1.5” NPT pipe threads - Installer’s preference.
Step 2:
Loosen the two (2) 10-32 x .375” screws on the Universal Platform that are key-holed and fully remove one (1) 10-
32 x .375” screw from the camera platform. Slide the two loosened screws through the keyholes and remove the
platform.
Step 4:
Pull the camera’s Cat-5e cabling through the 1.5” NPT pipe at this time.
Step 5:
Using the provided ¼”-20 x 5/8 screws, attach the HD-18 or HD-19 camera to the camera platform.
NOTE #1: If using the HD-19SE/20/22/30/USB camera, take the thee (3) .75” long 10-32 threaded M to F .5” Hex stand-off
extensions and attach them to the Three (3) 2.5” long 10-32 threaded F to F .5” Hex stand-offs in the bottom of the dome’s tub.
Tighten the hex stand-offs firmly with a socket or nut driver. Attach the HD-20 camera with the provided ¼”-20 x 3/8” screws to
the Camera Platform.
NOTE #2: If using the RoboSHOT Series cameras, remove the installed Three (3) 2.5” long 10-32 threaded stand-offs from the
dome’s tub, and replace with Three (3) 4.0” long stand-offs. This will compensate for the height difference of the RoboSHOT’s
spatially efficient design. Attach the camera with the provided ¼”-20 x 3/8” screws to the Camera Platform.
Step 6
Set the camera dip and rotary switches (functions and video resolutions prior to installing it in the dome). Re-install
the Universal Mounting Platform inside the dome with the camera attached. Slip the keyholes over the screws in
the stand-offs and tighten down all three platform screws Connect the Cat-5e cables according to the manual that
was included with the camera package purchased, making sure the cables are tucked up behind the mounting plate
to avoid interference with the PTZ camera movement.
Step 7:
Once the camera is installed in the dome, pull the cable slack back through the pendant extension pipe or curved
wall mount.

DomeVIEW HD - 12” Indoor Pendant Mount Dome Manual 342-0187 Rev. B Page 7 of 8
Step 8:
Attach the 12” polycarbonate dome to the enclosure with the three (3) attached stainless steel screws.
Step 9:
Connect the camera at the head end according to the camera manual.
NOTE: Check all the marked Cat-5e cables for continuity in advance of the final connection.
Plugging the Cat-5e cables into the wrong RJ-45 jack may cause damage to the camera
system and void the warranty.
